I met Suzette on my first day at the Canada Marketing Summit in Vancouver and she told me about Marie and how much she has learned as a student of Marie Gudelis, and therefore I made sure I got to see and meet Marie and learn from her.  Very dynamic speaker, and very impressive.  She is Canadian too.

Learn Copywriting Online

What is Copywriting? Learn Online Copywriting Learning Copywriting is one of the keys to online success, to getting your name out there online, getting a web presence, to write for your blog. 

Everyone needs to write good copy (which also means content…. words) I have already completed the first 2 lessons and have learned so much.

First – what is Copywriting? When I first heard the term I thought of the word “copyright” – and I was confused

The word Copyright  – means that a product or words or services cannot be copied, they are owned by the creative person or organization that developed them.

Copywriting
— means “writing copy” – you can learn Copywriting Online with the best in the industry.  The instructors for the Copywriting 101 Course are all successfully making money on the internet and a huge part of their success is knowing how to communicate effectively with their target market, and teaching others how to do so also.

I have met many of the instructors in person – including Michel Fortin, Lynn Terry, Jeff Herring and Shannon Cherry.

To your online success!

Top 10 Tips for Quality On Line Customer Service

The first thing to remember is that you have to know how to properly network. It is completely different being a business owner on line and trying to establish trust and ultimately a business partnership.

1. Communication

You must have and maintain communication with any relationship and an online business is no excuse. There are proper ways to go about communicating and spam doesn’t count. You need to make sure that you maintain an address book in your email so that you can send emails on a regular basis.

2. Profile Up-Keep

This is considered ‘your store’. There are many online stores now. Statistics say that 1 in 2 households will have home based businesses by the year 2012. It is wise to get as many social networking profiles active as possible. Then you must keep them maintained, up to date and as interesting as possible.

3. Networking

You must be patient and willing to go through profiles and mingle with others. There is a right way and a wrong way to do this though. You don’t want to go around and spam other profiles. The best thing is to become acquainted with them through email. Then you can go around and share your opportunity when you feel confident enough that you are a little acquainted.

4. Incentives

As with any business (even those online) you want to have some sort of incentive whether it is a discount or a percentage off. People love to save money.

5. Putting Their Needs First

The old saying goes ‘the customer is always right’. Well that is true! Make sure that you are providing them with the best customer service. You may get a telephone number and if you do, use it! If there is something that they like that is within your store make sure that you always have that item available even if just for them.

6. Maintaining Contact

Continue to visit their profile even if they haven’t ordered anything from you in awhile. If they see that you care about ‘them’, then they are more apt to order from you again.

7. Be Attentive

Just like in a regular business you always need to stay on your toes. Pay attention to what people are buying so that you can offer it at cheaper prices and then advertise it. Offer incentive with it as well.

8. Quality

You must provide a customer with quality products. Sure it is only worth a dollar. However, with a little effort people can take something that maybe cheap and make it look like a million dollars.


9. Satisfaction Guarantee

Is the customer happy with the product? If not offer a replacement or money back guarantees on the products. This will ensure quality and keep them coming back.

10. Follow up

It is very important that you follow up on not just customers but friends that you have made. You never know when they too may want to buy something from you.

These things are essential for online success. You must keep up with it or you are wasting time. Set goals and follow through. Always maintain communication in some way or another.

Learn to Blog – 5 Easy Blogging Tips

Diana Walker, Internet Marketing Professional, provides Internet Marketing and Blogging Education to help you earn money online with blogging.

Blogging is a great marketing tool for companies. Blogging allows a company to establish their expertise in an area and creates a rapport with readers. This makes readers more comfortable with buying from a company or using their services.

Very helpful resources are available from VA Classroom:
Blog Marketing Tips and Tactics

Blogging can be very time-consuming, and is a definite investment of time. Luckily there are many ways that you can limit your effort and make the time you spend blogging more efficient and productive. With the proper products and techniques you can blog without being tied to your computer.

1.  FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) -  One of the most time consuming parts of business blogging is when you have to answer the same questions over and over again.  Once you start recognizing the questions, start tagging the questions as you answer them.  Then use those tags to create a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page on your blog.  This document will list all of the questions and their answers.

2.   Blogging doesn’t have to be a one-man show – Blogs are conversations by multiple users, so you do not have to be the only user with the answers.  Enlist the help of co-workers or friends to do a guest post, to step in and answer questions from time to time.  Just make sure that their screen name/screen identity lists their affiliation with the company.

VAClassroom Blog Marketing Tips and Tools



3.  Blogging software – There is a multitude of blogging software that makes blogging fast and easy.  There is software that will enable you to create, edit and manage your blogs.  Other software will “ping” other websites that contain blogs with similar information.  When this happens, your post gets included with that sites index and more people see your post.

4.   Blog from your cell – Cell phones that have internet capability are a huge asset when you are trying to get away from the computer.  There are several tools and programs that will allow you to blog from whereever you are on your cell.  This way you can create and post a blog between meetings, on your commute to and from work, or even at your kids little practice.  The most popular of these services is Twitter, but many other services are available.

5.  Keep the posts simple – Many times you may want to make an elaborate or beautifully worded post.  For your blog to be successful, you need to post often, and there just isn’t always time for those elaborate posts. In those times, post a picture of one of your products, preferably of the product being used.  You want an image that tells a story. Another possibility is posting a question that will get your blog subscribers talking. This allows you to keep the blog active when there are no real new topics to discuss, and only takes minutes of your time.

Blogging can take time.  With a few simple downloads and modifications to your techniques, your company can benefit from blogging without you having to spend all your time at your computer.  By cutting down on the time and effort you are putting in on each post and blog response, and allowing you to fit much of that time in when you have the opportunity (through your mobile device) you will be amazed at how simple blogging can become.


Wishing you much success online!

VAClassroom Summer Skill Camp



Diana Walker’s Internet Marketing Highlights: I took classes in Computer Programming in 1969 and received a certificate. That was not my career path, and I didn’t earn money through those skills. I became the Executive Assistant in a Computer Engineering firm at that time. I’ve had many other careers and positions since then, and my love for computers continued to grow. I was teaching Doctors and Nurses how to use computers in the 1990s.

I continue to love to learn and to teach. Internet Marketing skills are where I have put my emphasis in the past 7 years. I also have learned many Virtual Assistant – also called a VA – skills. I often hire Virtual Assistants to help me with my many projects and help me with my online presence.

If you are thinking about learning skills that you can use on Facebook and Social Media and the Internet, you will love learning about the VA Classroom Summer Skill Camp 2010. I have learned many of the skills offered here personally over the last 7 years. These are important internet marketing skills to have for 2 reasons:
1. You can earn money with Social Media, Facebook, Internet marketing skills.
2. You will know who to hire to help you in your online business if you learn some of these skills yourself.
So – now may be the time for you to gain the Facebook Fan Pages skills, Social Media training and internet marketing education that you will need for the remainer of 2010 and on into the future.
